Description: Caring Heart, Open Arms Childcare and Development Ministry’s purpose is to meet the developmental needs of children physically, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. We embrace best practices in child development which states that children learn best through play and that play is children’s work. We believe that hands-on learning creates an environment that helps children to enjoy the learning process and sets the stage for life-long learning. We respect the fact that the parents or care givers are the child's first and most important teachers.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
